The less you know about school lunch ingredients the better.

Meh, I don't want horse meat but why should I prohibit other people from having horse meat?  Frankly, a dead horse is just a dead animal.  Why waste it.

People food, dog food, whatever...

Sorry horse lovers.

Anyone in town gonna start selling it?  Blake??

I would give it a try.  Maybe grilled or barbequed.  With a nice dry Cabernet...



Won't eat dog.  Close family member was in Korea and tried it - tasted just like you would think it would taste.  Bad.

What's the food processing company for Appleby's and many other franchises in Owasso?

Scary.

I'm not sure what the big deal is, Europeans (especially France) have been eating horsemeat for decades, if not longer.  There was actually a decent export market for US horsemeat in Europe until we passed a law prohibiting it.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- An employee of a southeastern New Mexico slaughterhouse that is seeking federal approval to slaughter horses has posted a video online showing him fatally shooting a horse in the head, sparking outrage among animal activists and prompting death threats to the Roswell meat company.
A maintenance contractor with Valley Meat Co. is shown in the video bringing a horse out of its pen, swearing at animal activists, then killing the horse with a single gunshot.

There's precedence:

A horse is livestock just like hogs, cows, and poultry

I don't watch those snuff films either.

Made a mistake of watching an episode of some nasty damned thing on HBO several years back about how a cat is prepared in SE Asia.  Not what I want to see.

Hogs, cows and poultry are delicious but I don't care to see them getting shot in the head, forced into a shoot by a lift, dragged with rope, beaks ripped off, etc.

Damn you, I laugh almost to the point of crying every time I see that.

I don't care to be scared into veganism either

You'll die when you find out how your meat is already over processed. Cutting it with horse meat won't make any taste difference.
